so Irena you have an amazing healing testimony if you want to share with our church and with those
who are watching online what happened to you I was limping for a while and I didn't
really think much of it and I was going to a wedding and I stepped out of the car and my knees
started to break and like to crack and then I got rushed into the emergency room and they found a
tumor and they didn't really know what it was and then I got transferred to a different hospital
and they said that I had osteosarcoma which is bone cancer wow um wow that's that's a little to
digest in there Irina how old were you when you found out when this happened I was 17 years old
very very young she was just a sophomore sophomore in high school
just a limp on her leg she did not imagine this nobody could have imagined you know you
are just going through high school just going through it and then all of a sudden you have
cancer how did that affect your spiritual life your family how did that affect you
I was a christian my whole life but I didn't really follow like I didn't really follow God
I knew who he was but I wasn't really living for him so when I heard that I got cancer I kind of
just pushed God away I didn't really want to do anything with God and that made my process
a little bit harder because I yeah that's fine so you push God away that was your first reaction
many many of us when we go through hard process we think God like even though that
we know about God we just push Him we think this is not fair what is this happening to me
why are you allowing this into my life Irena you also but it didn't stay there so because
she's here now so something happened Irena what happened you also told me that they kind of like
said to you we don't know how big this is you're going to lose your leg what happened
I had a surgery and they didn't know if they were going to cut off my leg
or they're gonna keep it and I had a dream that night that they were gonna cut off my
leg and I just started crying and crying out to God and saying God I really want to live
and I really want my leg and that I just started praying and I just kept adding truth into my
mind and just ignoring it that is amazing come on guys let's give a clap to Jesus she was
remembering the truth even though that she started she claimed unto God she has two legs right now
so praise to God praise to God Irena after that you told me you have 12 rounds of chemo
five surgeries I mean she's whole and complete in Jesus name but there is something that when
we were talking that you told me as well that you had some bitterness something in your heart
what was that affecting your life and how when you kind of like accepted Jesus
but how did it help you through your process I had a lot of unforgiveness towards my dad
and when I was going through the process it was really hard to just being diagnosed with cancer
and also having that unforgiveness so I started to cry out one night and just surrendering to God
and surrendering like and just forgiving my dad at that time and I just felt so much peace and I just
started living my life hallelujah hallelujah praise Jesus peace and faithfulness to God
God is a God who doesn't only wants to heal us physically but he wants to make us whole he wants
to just completely we're triune same as God we are spirit soul and body she got
healed because she got healed through chemo and she got healed through surgeries but as well
she got healing through the power of Christ she got inner healing she forgave her dad and when
she left that hospital she was not only healed physically but she was also healed emotionally
right because what is the point if we're healed physically but then there's still
bitterness in our heart God wants to do so much more than just physically heal us
he wants to heal us completely fully and totally because that's why we belong to him in Jesus
name come on guys like let's give it up to God come on guys he deserves better than this
Irina what will be something that you can tell family members a person who's going through
life right now you know people who may be watching us in a hospital bed family members who have
children who are going through this what can you a word of advice a word of encouragement what can
you tell them so when you surrender to God you will find your freedom that whatever like
you're going through just give it to God because He knows what He's going to do amen amen thank
you so much Irina for sharing hallelujah when you surrender to God you find your freedom you
surrender you find your freedom you find your healing you find everything all glory to God
